Tourism is Still Dead

And so are the locals out partying:
  • [It's] Fucking DEAD. There isn’t demand for Ubers in Chicago on a Saturday night. You’ve seen previous Uber surge maps. $10.00 surge prices because people are partying.

    After the latest riot, nightlife disappeared.
It'll be 100% dead if Groot and Fatass institute the expected September shutdown, closing bars (and schools) and remaining businesses prior to the November election.

Uber was pitched to the masses as a side hussle.
Now all the main hussles are gone.
Why do I flash back to Nipsey Russell?

...and there's been so much trouble of various kinds that AirBNB is banning party uses globally.

Switch off the Red Line, shut off the party buses and AirBNB and Lyft and Uber and they'll have to kill each other on their home corner a little more.

Video Package of thousands not social distancing or wearing masks and businesses not enforcing the guidelines on next Sunday Nights local news outlets along with the massive increase(BULLSHIT OF COURSE)of positive COVID numbers.Back to Level 2 Statewide Lockdown/Stay at Home Order as of midnight August 31st.All Non-Essential Businesses will be closed as of September 1st.Again the numbers to be reevaluated every 28 Days by the Governor and Dr. EZIKE before any region is able to move to Level 3.This is the reason for cancelling CPD days off from September 2nd through at least September 8th as a massive resistance and defiance is expected.

Oh it's fucking dead. Used to work River North area. A year ago it was packed with tourists and relatively safe.
Now, no tourists and Englewood East.
Nobody in their right mind will be found there after dark.
Responding to shootings and assaults used to be the rarity, now it's the norm.
This place is fucked.

Have you older guys thought of selling now, and renting something for the family in the burbs, or even where you are going to retire?

Because Chicago is non-viable. Illinois may be the same.

Just like NYC, Seattle, Portland, and Atlanta are soon to be crashing.

And why would you need an Uber when you have a multitude of nice cars to carjack. Why pay when you can get it free. The car usually comes with cash, jewelry and a cellphone.

All of the Trade Shows and Conventions that were forced to cancel this year by Fred Flintstone & Lighthead are looking at other cities to hold their events in 2021 and beyond.

If Lighthead does not allow Trade Shows at MCCormick Place in the 1st quarter of 2021 - the Chicago trage Show business is dead for many years to come.

Orlando and Vegas pushing hard to take the events Lighthead is chasing away.

We have all known for a long time Chicago can't rest its finances on tourism, but it moved in that direction under Daley, Emanuel, and Lightfoot finished off the strategy. There is no question its, dead. I have been amazed for years watching asian tourists buy up stuff on Michigan Ave, then toss their own clothes in the garbage so not to have to pay tariffs on the stuff they were bringing back to China from the high end stores now all looted. There is no question property taxes will explode too.

Congratulations! Groot has the highest unemployment rate other than some real shitty south and west suburbs like Harvey and just below the City of Rockford (Screw Capital of the World) at 18.7% which is usually the perennial leader in unemployment for Illinois by 2% to 5% since the 1980's. Chicago unemployment is increasing while the rest of the world is decreasing, while increasing the Chicago MSA slightly where it should be lower or even from the month of May 2020. All the areas with high unemployment are run by Democrats in the State of Illinois. Governor Pritzker and Michael Madigan must be proud that Illinois trails the United States with only 30.6% more unemployment. These stats are courtesy of IDES.


Chicago

June 2020 18.6%

May 2020 17.2%


United States

June 2020 11.2%

May 2020 13.0%

My wife and I were hanging out at the yacht club on Saturday afternoon, exercising our white privilege and we noticed how few people were on the lake front trail. It was a beautiful summer day and there had to be only 25% of the people out.

My Kind of Town, Chicago was...

That daytime wrapper’sassination on glitzy Oak Street three weeks ago sure as shit put the last nail in the coffin.

CTA is empty, trolleys, rogue fake Ubers, jitney, electric scooters or divvy...there’s no place safe to go. Besides that who real gives a shit about these Uber’s anyway.

The lack of tourism is the reason these young mens go’round borrowing peoples cars.
They need transportation opportunities understand.
Bring back those foreigners and the pickpockets won’t have to resort to borrowing other peoples wallets.
Bring back those peoples into stores and restaurants so young boys and girls can sell m&m’s for they’ sports team trips.
No hustle and no bustle killed the Bucket Boy.

It’s all downtown.

When you’re alone and life is making you lonely,
You can ways go....

Downtown

Larri is lucky there isn’t an absolute Recall measure. But her along with KimmFxxxup continual ignoring deadly violence should be a criminal act. Let’s see if the Council can or will bother get a referendum petition for Recall going...SOON.
But knowing the crooked council, they will only approve bullshit binding referenda as silly as banning plastic straws.

I lived in Chicago for over 30 years. Once the West Town precinct closed, things stated to change quickly. I saw the writing on the wall and moved to a nice lake in Wisconsin. After encountering ferrel activity during my past two visits, I no longer have any interest in visiting a city I formerly loved.

I also have it on good authority that the downtown streak joints are getting hit for thousands a night by dine and ditch from the reparations crowd.

I heard the same thing too. A friend of mine said he had dinner at Lou Malnati's on State Street and the waiter told him it happens like 2-3 times A DAY.

Heard another story about a dine and dash at Gibson's on a $2000 tab. Gibson's calls the police. Police show up and said "there is nothing we can do". WTF?

How about putting security at the door and say unless you show us a paid receipt, you can't leave?

Pretty soon, the restaurants are all going to want a deposit when you order. Sad.

Pritzker and Lightfoot are running Chicago like an unstable country. Anyone who has it together enough to build a small business - don't rebuild; relocate.

Just read an article about how if Trump sent more federal help to cities like Chicago the Dems could try to starve them, refuse hotel rooms, hospitals, get every local entity to mistreat them and then sue them personally. It's just best to get out.
